Hot Nights.

It"s Wednesday morning and by now I should have done at least 42k but the hot nights have not helped my goals for the week. Monday night a nice 22k in 1:50 and I took 2 small bottles of aid stuff. They only lasted till 16 k then I was thirsty the last few k's. It doesn't sound so bad but I had the evil angle on one shoulder saying I should take a shortcut and walk the rest of the way. Then the good angle on the other shoulder saying "just keep going, there is u huge cold drink for you at home". Luckily I was too dehydrated to even remember what the other angle said.
Last night was different. I loaded up with fluids but after 4k my guts felt yucky and I had a couple of moments when I just wanted to stop and walk home. I have done this in the past where I just wasn't up to it or felt like I had no energy. But I stuck through it and decided to do an easy 10k. HA. The brain can easily be fooled and I started to think about things that make me happy and other things that are "R" rated and before I knew it I had hit 8k and the top of a big hill.
That's when I turned for home. Slowly making my way down the hill a lady whistled out the window at me. I had this visual of me hot ,sweaty, probably red faced and looking near death and not looking anything like what someone in their right mind would whistle at. HA. I laughed and nearly fell over. Which reminded me of the time I used to frequent a gym. One night on the treddy going hell for leather when the lady in front of me dropped her towel, tripped and slid off. Thankfully not hurting herself ( just ego) and I laughed which caused me to double over and do exactly what she had done.
Anyway I got out 16.5k at 5:15 pace but the goal was 20k.
Tonight rest then 20k on Thursday night.
Take care.
